Answer 1

When elaborating on your point, it is important to show your audience that the topics you are connecting are not mere coincidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are trying to make a point to an audience, you are using argumentative writting or speaking. That means you are stablishing a point in a concise manner supporting it with loigical and coherent information. First of all, you present the topic, then the thesis statement is stablished, that means you present the point of view you chose. For example, the topic could be global warming and your point of view is that this issue affects underdeveloped countries more than developed ones. After that, you need to elaborate arguments that support the statement. As you want to prove the importance and validity of your point of view, the audience must feel that you have done research and that each argument has been chosen for an specific reason. So if you present infromation related to global warming it is going to be related with problems in underveloped countries that don't occur in developed ones.

So by having arguments that relate to the thesis statement and that are carefully chosen, you have a better chance to prove your point is valid.

Answer 2

When elaborating on your point, it is important to show your audience that the topics you are connecting...:

...are not mere coincidence.

When doing a lecture or a presentation, it is vital that what we say makes sense. When connecting different topics, it must be clear that we are not just randomly mentioning them, but that they are all complementary, that is, together they help convey an idea or make a point. For example, when doing a lecture on criminality, we might mention poverty, bad income distribution, education, moral values acquired during childhood, religion, etc. All of them have to do with whether an individual decides to lead a life of crime or not, but depending on how they are adressed in the same lecture, they might sound disconnected and confuse the audience. Therefore linking different topics when elaborating a point has to be done in a smooth, strategic way.
